Amazing experience!

An amazing experience! Every aspect of the tour exceeded expectations and our tour guide, Saif, made it a memorable day for my daughter and myself.

Wüstensafari - doch das wirkliche Wüstenerlebnis unbefriedigend!

Natascha_T, Jan 2022

Konkret waren wir maximal 45 Minuten in der Wüste und der Trip wird als private Wüstensafari deklariert... Es wäre sinnvoll und fair, wenn der Reiseveranstalter Zeitangaben tätigen würde (Aufenthalt im Wadi / Restaurant war der Aufenthalt länger als in der Wüste, die wir eigentlich erleben wollten ‼️) Auto sehr gut, Fahrer pünktlich, kompetent und freundlich

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Dear Natascha Thank you very much for your valuable response. I am very sorry about this inconveniences We are mentioned as Desert safari as this tour but we also mentioned tour location has Wahiba sands and Wadi bani khalid in booking details and total tour duration also. We need approximately 6 hours up & down travel to reach Muscat from Desert and back to desert from Muscat. Total Duration is approximately 8 hours. Some time it will take up to 9 hours if guest request to spend some more time on the way to spend like Fanja for photo shoot or any of locations they want spend more 15 minutes above the normal time on request. However our private tour guest can make customize their time if they want to spend more time either Desert only or Wadi , any of one locations they can choose avoiding another location or one location from both where like to spend more time with in this time frame. But they need to advice or inquiry to our Guide regarding this matter. I am 100 % Guarantee that our guide will be prefer guest suggestions. So I request you to please inform us if our guide disagree with any of your suggestion like you want to stay more in desert. If so we will go for further inquiry with our guide and we will give you good solutions for soonest possible.
